Well the SP2 is back and I had my first outing at a rather wet Jurby on the new course with only dry tyres to hand!

I set pole in practice but made the difficult descision not to race following rain which left the curcuit "like riding on ice" (according to a fellow racer).

The bike however is something else - far better than i remember it. Roger (Revolution) had it on the dyno for the best part of a day fine tuning the map. She now produces a healthy 145BHP 10 BHP up on last year.

Got my number through for the Manx Grand Prix - finished 26th last year so I was expecting around 26 but no - 45! Not sure how that works but watch out!!!!!!

I am in talks with Dunlop at the moments to sort out some of the new all singing all dancing tyres - watch this space.

THE NEW BIKE

Picked the "new" 2006 CBR 600 up from Slingshot racing last week - what a piece of kit!

Ex Jamie Robinson BSB, full Tenkate spec - so it should go well.

Dropped it off with Roger Ditchfield (Revolution) for a full rebuild and check over ready for next season - cannot wait!


Check out the photos in the gallery.

Well that didn't long! The sp2 has been sold (well nearly) and a new bike sourced  - an ex Jamie Robinson CBR 600 so there is no excuses now for doing well!!!!

I will post pictures of it as soon as i have the bike.

 

If anyone who wants some advertising on the bike, van and Smart car in return for an affordable fee let me know!

The end of the SP2

Well it is a sad day but i have made the decission to break the good old SP2!!!

 

Roger (Revolution) and I have discussed various options and it has been decided that next year i will campaign a CBR600. This will give me two rides in the MGP and hopefully move me up the rankings.

 

All is not lost as I intend to build one hell of a road bike out of the bits!!! The sound of thunder will continue.

Manx Grand Prix 2009

Well we got under way after a short delay.

Bike went well until the second lap when I went into Quarter Bridge a little hot shall we say - lost the front end, slid down the road - practice over!!!!

 

Believe it or not i have only had to replace the RHS foot rest and she is ready for the next practice (Monday). Stripper down yesterday to check for any oil leaks etc - nothing!

 

Apart from that the bike feels quick planted and is still a joy to ride more soon.............

 

TO VIEW THE CRASH PHOTOs HAVE ALOOK ON ANDREAS RACING FORUM  - TIM DEVLIN AND DAVE HAS POSTED SOME PHOTOS! - CHEERS DAVE!

 

Well practice was a wash out and i only managed 5 laps in total!

 

Finished 26th (again) in what can only be described as tricky conditions! Very good run with Ian Whitlow swapping places all the way round - but i managed to get by him in the end!
